When my mother was in her early 70s, she told me that she still felt 17 inside. She said you always do, you just learn to behave in a way that doesn't elicit negative commentary.
Aging is largely a role we learn to adopt. I'm not dismissing that we do gain some experience. But our emotions don't change that much.

I'm sure I've learned and developed my emotions since then but I think 19 year old me was the beginning of my "current" personality, if that makes sense.
